Ex-US Sen. Brown Puts Mass. Home on Market

Former Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown has put his Massachusetts home on the market, further fueling speculation about his political future.

An open house was held Sunday at the 3,020-square-foot, four-bedroom Colonial in Wrentham. The asking price is $559,900.

Brown and his wife, television reporter Gail Huff, raised two daughters in the home. The family also has a vacation home in Rye, N.H.

The Massachusetts house was a key part of Brown's man-of-the-people image along with his barn coat and pickup truck in 2010 when he won the Senate seat previously held by Democrat Edward M. Kennedy. He lost to Democrat Elizabeth Warren last year.

Brown, now working for a private law firm, has been mentioned as a possible candidate for office in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and even as a possible presidential candidate. Possibilities include running for the Senate in 2014 in New Hampshire against Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.

Brown has also visited Iowa, home of the first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses, with an eye toward maybe running for president in 2016, according to USA Today.
